Breaking: 304 U.S. soldiers ordered killed by Pentagon in Iraq

TEHRAN (MNA) – About 304 recalcitrant U.S. soldiers have been killed by the Pentagon’s special team, intelligence sources in Iraq have revealed.

The sources quoted high-ranking U.S. officers as saying that since the U.S. occupation of Iraq in March 2003 more than 304 U.S. military forces have been executed in spurious clashes at the behest of army commanders and with the knowledge of the Pentagon.

The bodies of these soldiers have been sent to their families and announced as forces who have been killed in the fight against terrorists, the Mehr News Agency correspondent in southern Iran has learnt.

The soldiers ordered killed were mainly among those who suffered mental disorders and protested against the massacre of Iraqi civilians and asked “Who were they fighting for”.

Reports say the number of soldiers who have injured or maimed themselves to flee from the scene of war in Iraq are on the rise, and new revelations show that this number has exceeded to 2,100 over the past two years.

The U.S. Army medical dispensary announced four months ago that more than 6,000 soldiers serving in Iraq suffer from severe mental problems. The reports have also revealed that some of these soldiers tend to kill innocent Iraqi civilians without any particular reason in order to reduce their mental pains.

I´ve been home for about 4 months now and thought I had forgotten all the things that had gone on Iraq. Unlike a lot of other stories here, I wasn´t a "front-line" troop, but as we all know that doesn´t mean I was out of danger, and it doesn´t mean that I didn´t see the disorganization, rampant waste and corruption that is part of the fabric of our operations in Iraq.First, some background on my unit and my situation. The 222nd Broadcast Operations Division is a TV/Radio unit, so we were sent in to establish AFN Iraq. Basically we were a mouthpiece to the military. Although we were almost never told to edit our stories, we were trained to know what we should be reporting and what would never fly. But more on that later.We went to Iraq in November of 2003. We went with flak jackets as armor, and with 5 unarmored humvees. We had 6 out of 29 people who were scheduled to get out of the Ready Reserves in the year over there. I myself was scheduled to get out in January 2004.Because of some desperate need to get us into country ASAP, we weren´t given an in-briefing. No rules of engagement, host-country sensitivities, etc. We were flown directly from Germany to Baghdad International Airport. When we arrived no one seemed to know what to do with us. Our unit was cut apart and shipped around the country.I served with the 101st in Mosul, the 1st Armored Division and around Baghdad. In the Green Zone officers would ride in their newly leased SUV´s, windows up, air conditioners on, 1 or 2 people max, while enlisted would ride around in humvees. To my knowledge the SUV´s were rented at $90,000 a year, but if destroyed would be replaced without cost.

If the Army has humvees, why do we rent SUV´s? Ostensibly it was to fit in with the locals in non-military vehicles, but anyone in a brand new SUV in Iraq with tinted windows was obviously a foreigner. And most of these vehicles were only driven around the heavily fortified and defended Green Zone.

Besides that, there were contractors for everything. And sadly, often these contractors would work alongside Army personnel who were trained to do the exact same thing, but paid about 1/3rd as much. Once again, if the Army already has something to do the job, why do we need something else to do it, and pay them more?

Finally, the saddest thing was the PSD, or Private Security Details. Mercenaries, or civilians paid to bear arms and armor. Doing the exact job of the military, but once again being paid many times what the military was paid. Although many of these civilians were highly trained or specialized, there was enough talk among soldiers who wanted to do their time, get out, and then join these civilian security companies, because they were such a better deal. Not only does this prove how poorly treated our own troops are, but hiring these people actively increases our own recruiting problems.

All three of these issues just point to one underlying, glaring point: we were not ready. We were not ready for this war, and we´re willing to pay huge amounts of top dollar and increase our national deficit to shore up our mistakes. Not only that, but we´re willing to abuse our current military, because the repercussions will probably start in a few years, which won´t reflect heavily on the current goverment.

I remember the skepticism and flat out anger I felt when watching our President and his comments to the American people. When he said that our troops might come home after the election, if the Iraqi troops were ready to take control.

At the time I had done a story on training and equipping of the local troops. I had gone to the field on patrols and road marches with the Iraqi National Guard, and talked with the soldiers in charge of training them. Everyone knew that the Iraqis were poorly trained, low morale, and not close to ready. They were good people, and trying hard, but not used to the training, not well supplied, and constantly threatened when they left the camps. No one who was at all informed would think that we would leave any time soon when he made those statements. He was simply trying to lead the American public on.There are so many other things that went on that made me so angry and indignant. The day after the elections, I slipped into a mild depression. I thought that the American people had forgotten us soldiers out in the field, and the words and images from Michael Moore´s Fahrenheit 911 kept ringing through my head.

I´m home now, working a job and doing my best to continue my life after a year long disruption (or 15 month, to be honest). When I heard about this site I wanted to join so that I could help the American public understand the TRUE situation out there, which any soldier on active duty is pretty much forbidden from telling. I only hope that civilians really do read these stories and gain an understanding of the real situation.Bobby Yen

The same the illuminati Habsburgs on both sides of World War I did to the soldiers on both sides of the trenches that celebrated the Christmas truce 1914 ... that Hitler did ...

The only difference between the NATziO brainwash of their robot mercenaries in comparison with the Nazi propaganda and the propaganda of Chemical Charles I (beatified Pope John Paul II, Ocotber 3, 2004) is ...that this times the only "ideals" that the satanists can present to turn people into robots are the two towers that they bombed...

What can you do?Refuse to accept any of this bullshit.Start by organizing in local groups and discuss stategies with global organizations. You have the tools and abilities. What are you waiting for? A leader maybe? Think outside the box and remember, the journey of a 1000 miles begins with just one step.

LOL it´s amazing that you people will complain of the blind sheep you all seem to think you are better and more intelligent than, yet you fall for obvious propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

And why? Because like any ideologue, you don´t question things that you agree with. Anything that you hear that you disagree with or doesn´t support your world view you launch a detailed investigation, combing the story for any anomalies and discrepancies.

Yet, something comes out that supports your ideology, it is accepted no questions asked as if God himself had come to you and pronounced it true.

You are being pulled like a puppet on a string and in your arrogant ideological blindness you not only have no idea it´s happening, you have the nerve to call Bubba the redneck Fox News watcher blinded by propaganda--not realizing that you are no different than Bubba.

Nationwide Media Blackout Keeps U.S. Public Ignorant About This Important Story By James P. Tucker Jr.American Free PressMarch 26, 2005

The death toll from the highly toxic weapons component known as depleted uranium (DU) has reached 11,000 soldiers and the growing scandal may be the reason behind Anthony Principi´s departure as secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department.

This view was expressed by Arthur Bernklau, executive director of Veterans for Constitutional Law in New York, writing in Preventive Psychiatry E-Newsletter.

"The real reason for Mr. Principi´s departure was really never given," Bernklau said. "However, a special report published by eminent scientist Leuren Moret naming depleted uranium as the definitive cause of ´Gulf War Syndrome´ has fed a growing scandal about the continued use of uranium munitions by the U.S. military."

The "malady [from DU] that thousands of our military have suffered and died from has finally been identified as the cause of this sickness, eliminating the guessing... The terrible truth is now being revealed," Bernklau said.

Of the 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are now dead, he said. By the year 2000, there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. More than a decade later, more than half (56 percent) who served in Gulf War I have permanent medical problems. The disability rate for veterans of the world wars of the last century was 5 percent, rising to 10 percent in Vietnam.

"The VA secretary was aware of this fact as far back as 2000," Bernklau said. "He and the Bush administration have been hiding these facts, but now, thanks to Moret´s report, it is far too big to hide or to cover up."

Terry Johnson, public affairs specialist at the VA, recently reported that veterans of both Persian Gulf wars now on disability total 518,739, Bernklau said.

"The long-term effect of DU is a virtual death sentence," Bernklau said. "Marion Fulk, a nuclear chemist, who retired from the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, and was also involved in the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignancies in the soldiers [from the second war] as ´spectacular´ - and a matter of concern.´ "

While this important story appeared in a Washington newspaper and the wire services, it did not receive national exposure - a compelling sign that the American public is being kept in the dark about the terrible effects of this toxic weapon.

If the Army has humvees, why do we rent SUV´s? Ostensibly it was to fit in with the locals in non-military vehicles, but anyone in a brand new SUV in Iraq with tinted windows was obviously a foreigner. And most of these vehicles were only driven around the heavily fortified and defended Green Zone.---------------------------------------------Consider yourself lucky. The resistance makes it a point to target those SUVs over hummers, knowing they contain officers or intelligence personnel.

I appreciate your information and honesty of the situation in Iraq. Many people are quick to believe the lies they see on TV because they are more comforting than the truth.

For those who have been following the a....warthis tactic is old news.It was reported back in the summer of 2003 that a captain of the rebulican guard came home to find his wife and daughters missing. The same kind of note was found, and Fox News was defending the action.

So when we hear of children being detained, and wonder why they would be (In Jail) you have your answer.

The full-blown criminal regime of George Bush is now pushing full-bore for their plutocratic elitist masters´ long sought after New World Order.

All serious unbiased open minded researchers are well aware that the events of 9-11-01 were planned and executed by the Bush junta with an eye towards using manufactured false flag terrorism to strip the American middle class of what was left of their liberties and replace it with a totalitarian regime.

The world trade agreements (NAFTA, GAAT, FTAA, etc.)as well as the orchestrated gutting of the dollar, not to mention the unwarranted spike in oil prices, are specifically designed to destroy the American economy and bring the middle class to its knees.

The American middle class is under assault from the illegitimate, corrupt, plutocratic elitist Lucifer worshipping controlled mob in Washington, D.C. (District of Criminals).

Everyone would be well advised to stock up on necessities and munitions for the battle for what is left of America!

Do you think the fucktard is so dense that he didn´t realize all those 25,000 troops know he´s a traitor and a liar?

He didn´t look so good on Drudge. Maybe he´s starting to get the message.

Did they disarm those 25,000 troops and place made in China flags in their hands? Being an AWOL Bush probably isn´t aware that if those 25,000 troops rushed him, they could kill the weasle with their bare hands.

Speaking of flags, WTF is that RAG that Bush stands in front of at every newscast these days? It isn´t OLD GLORY!

a few weeks ago, my son was watching PBS.it was about the iraqi war and about soldiers who were in distress over war duties...it showed one marine? who wound up killing himself.on that show, they interviewed several veterans.one stated that in other past conflicts...that if you rejected the idea of war...you were considered weak...and useless...and were SHOT.expendible.PBS.

Any one who is still decent in what used to be the greatest military power on the face of the globe should put a gun to Rumsfeld´s asshole and blow his friggin wormy traitor´s brains out. Wolfowitz and Feith to follow.
